flashing(s)
I think we've had this one before; in any case, the term came up in connection with another of my own qustions recently, and thanks to our resident expert Bourth, I learnt that it means 'flashing' (sometimes tricky to fit into the sentenc, though!)
Here, 'relevé' is nothing whatever to do with meter readings etc., it simply means that the edge of a waterproof membrane (etc.) is 'turned up' to form a seal.
HTH!

actually, the French word also covers the notion of airtightness, and both meanings could apply here

TesCor -
: In that case, you can also say weatherproof or weathertight

Up to you
to decide, based on context, which term is more appropriate.
upstand, upturn - A vertical strip or skirting, such as the weatherproofing where roofing [bituminous felt built-up roofing on flat roofs, etc.] meets an abutment wall. It can be the roofing itself, particularly for mastic asphalt, the top part of a one-piece apron flashing, a mortar skirting, or an upstand flashing, and either stepped, raking, or level>>
[Scott/Penguin Bldg]
Where you get carpet or (when waterproof) linoleum turned up the bottom of a wall (over a congé sanitaire), as often in bathrooms, toilets, etc., this too is a relevé.
IN some cases you'll get both a membrane turnup (case of roofing for ex.) AND a metallic flashing to protect it. The flashing might be set into the wall slightly above the top of the membrane upstand and overlap it.

If these \"relevés\" are permanently \"décollé\" from the wall (i.e. this is part of the design), I suspect you are looking at flashings (though the top would have to be let into or otherwise fixed and sealed against the wall). If, however, they are \"décollé\" for maintenance, etc., I suspect you have upturns/stands.
